Counting the Families of the Levites

34Moses, Aaron and the leaders of the community counted the men of Kohath. They counted them family by family. 35They counted all of the men who were from 30 to 50 years old. Those were the men who came and served at the Tent of Meeting. 36There were 2,750 men. They were counted family by family. 37That was the total of all of the men in the Kohath families who served at the Tent of Meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them. They did just as the Lord had commanded through Moses.

38The men of Gershon were counted family by family. 39All of the men who were from 30 to 50 years old were counted. They were the men who came and served at the Tent of Meeting. 40There were 2,630 men. They were counted family by family. 41That was the total of the men in the Gershon families who served at the Tent of Meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them. They did just as the Lord had commanded.

42The men of Merari were counted family by family. 43All of the men who were from 30 to 50 years old were counted. They were the men who came and served at the Tent of Meeting. 44There were 3,200 men. They were counted family by family. 45That was the total of the men in the Merari families. Moses and Aaron counted them. They did just as the Lord had commanded through Moses.

46So Moses and Aaron counted all of the Levites. The leaders of Israel helped them. They counted the Levites family by family. 47All of the men who were from 30 to 50 years old were counted. They were the men who came and served at the Tent of Meeting. They were also supposed to carry it. 48The total number of men was 8,580. 49Everything was done as the Lord had commanded through Moses. Each man was given his work. And each one was told what to carry.

So they were counted, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
